Honolulu's Chinatown

Enter Honolulu's Chinatown neighbourhood through the Gateway
Plaza on the corner of Bethel and Hotel streets in the city's
downtown business district, and you step into an exciting and
exotic world made up of a colourful and eclectic blend of Southeast
Asian cultures.

Here Vietnamese, Laotian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Filipino, and
a myriad of other ethnic groups work in harmony to sell their
wares, serve their delicacies and perpetuate their cultural
traditions.

The market sells an array of delicacies from noodles to duck
eggs, and tantalising smells issue from the numerous inexpensive
speciality restaurants in this 15-block area. Visitors can also
consult a herbalist, view an art exhibit, watch a dragon
procession, make an offering at a Buddhist temple, or perhaps buy a
precious jade memento in this rich and memorable part of town.

Address: Entrance is on the corner of Bethel and Hotel Streets, in downtown Honolulu
